I just love how when people first saw I go to the zoo they thought it had no character development or addition to the story and then the final episode when Nathaniel quits to truly be happy working with monkeyssssss My heart
Nathanial reminds me a bit of Ben Wyatt, who started out as a hard ass contrasting to Leslies over overeager attitude, but over the course of the show was revealed to be a huge sweetheart and nerd. His character didn’t really dramatically change, we just saw new sides of him, same with Nathanial.
Yes and he also has the best ark. No running away to college or going to therapy - he just grows emotionally out of self reflection and his love for Rebecca. I'm team Nathaniel all the way
I GO TO THE ZOO IS BEYOND ICONIC PROVE ME WRONG also who else remembers exactly where they were the first time you watched that episode because I’ll always remember the first time I experienced I go to the zoo
YES that was the moment he became my absolute favorite because finally a fictional character shares me trait of loving the zoo way too much as an adult
Does anyone else always feel like pointing out that Susan probably got fired for letting some random guy wander around the aquarium at night? Also, here's a way you could highlight some of the songs that don't appear very often: Best short songs (say, under 2 minutes, but with extra credit given for extra shortness). We never really get to see How to Clean Up, or the Trent is Getting Ready Song, or some of the other fun quick-hitting moments that can't stand up to the longer, more developed numbers.
I always assumed that the night guards let him do it, because he just makes a huge donation to the zoo. Nathaniel just walks up and he's like yeah I want to hang out with the monkeys, here's 3 mil.
I love your videos, not only because all the cxgf songs & lists are amazing, but the comment sections are so positive and nice. It's heartwarming to see all the fans of this show coming together. IRL no one knows about this show (sadly) but at least we can share our love in the comments of youtube videos :')
Ever since Nathaniel bashed his face on the treadmill desk, he was my absolute favorite character on the show. I had heard a few of the songs before watching the show, and I Go to the Zoo was one of them, it was definitely my favorite song from the show that I heard before watching the show. I kind of forgot who sang it because I'm bad at remembering faces, I cannot express how much delight crossed my face when I realized that Nathaniel was the one who sang it. I literally said, "Oh! Nathaniel's the one who goes to the zoo!"
Omg the same thing happened to me but with fit hot guys. I was always like "wait, wheres josh's blonde friend and why hasn't he appeared until now in the show?"
I legit converted my friends onto CXG just by making them listen to I Go To The Zoo - We have a little group now where one of our friends have deemed us the "Zoo Club" because we all love/relate to the song. Also, "Wait, what the fuck happened to Susan?" has randomly become my line for pretty much everything.
Okay I had so many thoughts after this, your lists always makes me happy and makes me obsess over this amazing show: - you must really consider Gratuitous Karaoke Moment a bad one if you put it below that Etta Mae's Lament Reprise which is barely a song - although I realized now that it is much longer than I remembered. Also: I am still mad that is THE Nathaniel solo song from season 4. - I always considered Sports Analogies a weaker song - is it because I am not a man, know nothing about sports and could never have used them to cope with reality or connect with my father? - It wasn't his looks, his sweetness, his confidence. It was I Go To The Zoo that made me fall in love with Nathaniel. Still hoping you make a Daryll's best songs video!
Júlia Fazekas I wouldn’t say gratuitous karaoke is bad - it’s funny for sure and it achieves what it set out to do very well. (Not one I’d ever choose to listen to though.) It’s more that I like Etta Mae’s Lament (revised) more than most people I think... It’s such a turning point for Rebecca in the ‘someone else is singing my song’ moment. It’s also a rare selfless moment from Nathaniel (plus I’m kinda biased towards it as a Rebecca/Nathaniel fan) And yes Darryl’s best solos are coming up soon!
Personally, it was one of those songs that shocked me when I saw it because it was the last thing I expected Nathaniel to do. It was sort of the turning point for me to see him as a better guy. It also vibes like a Lonely Island song, which I like. And zoo for fishies is amazing (only a little better than they're probably straightforward nipples)
depends on the video! short ones like these are pretty easy to whip up - i tend to change the ordering around a lot on longer lists so those take more time. i usually have a few videos going at once for me to switch between, which gives me more time to settle on my choices. i work on them off and on in my spare time so it's hard to give an exact time frame tbh
I feel like I'm the only CEG fan who isn't super into the "Intercourse" song. (Then again, it's a parody of Thinking Out Loud, and I'm not a big fan of that song. It got overplayed and ruined for me.)
I'm so glad someone thinks the same... At least it's not better than let's have intercourse or nothing is ever anyone's fault (which doesn't get enough of approval here in my opinion). I keep skipping it as well... I know the bad or non-existent rhymes are probably on purpose but it just bothers me :D And for me it's not as relatable as some other songs of Nathaniel.
Nathaniel is that character you start hating and slowly turns into one of the nicest characters.
"I'm nice now" - Nathaniel, cuz he's nice now
“It’s like a zoo for fishies” will forever be my favorite Nathaniel line
Oh my gosh same
My fave line in all of Crazy Ex GF tbh 😂
I'm sorry but can we add Nathaniel's contribution in Strip Away My Conscience simply for his expressions in it?
Nihaarika Singh Absolutely. A worthy honourable mention
I freakin love Strip Away My Conscience
his expressions in Real Life Fighting Is Awkward are incredible too, i love how he makes songs that he doesn't even sing better
Right?? I consider both Strip Away My Conscience & Tell me I'm Okay, Patrick duets just because of the expressions of Nathaniel & Patrick in them
I just love how when people first saw I go to the zoo they thought it had no character development or addition to the story and then the final episode when Nathaniel quits to truly be happy working with monkeyssssss My heart
Their eyes look like his eyes
Thanks for the spoiler :)
This show has been out for years sorry not sorry
Nathanial reminds me a bit of Ben Wyatt, who started out as a hard ass contrasting to Leslies over overeager attitude, but over the course of the show was revealed to be a huge sweetheart and nerd. His character didn’t really dramatically change, we just saw new sides of him, same with Nathanial.
I love this! Nathaniel is one of my favourite characters. He certainly has the best duets with Rebecca.
Yes and he also has the best ark. No running away to college or going to therapy - he just grows emotionally out of self reflection and his love for Rebecca. I'm team Nathaniel all the way
Nathaniel has incredible songs! And I'm sorry but he is gorgeous and Bex should have picked him lol
Katy Marshall yessss after team Nathaniel all the way
Maybe she did! She didn't not pick him so
@@claram5482 she chose herself and her music!
@@1987Indeed but she did say she was ready to date again
I GO TO THE ZOO IS BEYOND ICONIC PROVE ME WRONG also who else remembers exactly where they were the first time you watched that episode because I’ll always remember the first time I experienced I go to the zoo
YES that was the moment he became my absolute favorite because finally a fictional character shares me trait of loving the zoo way too much as an adult
I heard the podcast I was listening to talk about it before I saw it. I was sooooo confused! (Shout out to Crazy Ex Girl Fans)

It's at this point, years later, that I realize the name is "Susan" and not "Soozer."
God, "Fit Hot Guys Have Problems Too" and "Sports Analogies" are so freaking good. Nathaniel and the Joshes are great duos
one of this shows greatest achievements was being able to make us care so much about Nathaniel
This list must be named Ron cuz it’s legit. ✌️

selene We should have a West Covina CXG meet up lol. Idk why so many ppl are sleeping on this show?!
is it a sacred duck video if I go to the zoo is not first
gracefulrainbows that would be illegal I don’t know what to tell you
The Sacred Duck it had to be done. The song simply slaps
I unironically LOVE I go to the zoo. Such a bop I swear
Conclusion: Nathaniel has the best songs and is Rebecca's true love!
I was confused why let’s have intercourse was 2nd but oh 1 is a piece of art
I loved all of Scott m foster songs on crazy ex-girlfriend it's hard to pick one favourite 😍
Nathaniel was one of the best character on the show and the best choice for rebecca .

I JUST REALISE ABOUT THE "SOMEONE ELSE IS SINGING MY SONG" LINE!!!
You should make a try not to sing / a 10 hardest crazy ex girlfriend songs to not sing along to
Yes this, I probably will fail hard at thing challenge, but would love it.
Well there are like 5 songs from the whole show I could resist not singing along to.
2:53 nathaniel's voice is so suited to this style!
I legit converted my friends onto CXG just by making them listen to I Go To The Zoo - We have a little group now where one of our friends have deemed us the "Zoo Club" because we all love/relate to the song. Also, "Wait, what the fuck happened to Susan?" has randomly become my line for pretty much everything.
Nathaniel and his songs are legit. ♥️
Nathaniel has all the bangers
I would put "lets have intercourse" in first place but "i go to the zoo" is gold too xD
Nathaniel's best song? LITERALLY ALL OF THEM HES SO HOT UGH
Nathaniel team!! Love all his songd and his romance with Rebecca was so beautiful

Your last point... I agree wholeheartedly!! I almost choked on my water when I first heard I Go To The Zoo
of course i go to the zoo is number one bc its a legit bop. also proud to announce im going to the zoo tomorrow
Are you going to panda canyon?
„Oh my god, someone else is singing my song„😱 I somehow never got. this before. But thats a strong sign for Nabecca
Scott and Rachel are the best comic actors on the show
i knew that i go to the zoo was gonna be no.1 before even starting this video and as always you are absolutely right
YES MY FAVEEE i love him :’)
Why is everybody so obsessed with i go to the zoo?? I mean i like it but dang...i will always pick let’s have intercourse over it
Personally, it was one of those songs that shocked me when I saw it because it was the last thing I expected Nathaniel to do. It was sort of the turning point for me to see him as a better guy. It also vibes like a Lonely Island song, which I like. And zoo for fishies is amazing (only a little better than they're probably straightforward nipples)
“It’s like a zoo for fishies” is the line I listen to to cure my depression
i like it because i'm living in san diego
It depends on my mood. If I’m in a slower sadder mood and want to get cheered up I go for let’s have intercourse. However I go to the zoo is more hype
Why isn’t it every Nathanial song
I’d it just me or does I go to zoo remind anyone else of a Danny Gonzalos song even the way he sings it it’s just wow 😂
I’m embarrassed at how long it took me to realise he’s the guy from Greek
Julia Moraes de Oliveira I’m rewatching Greek and pretending that they’re actually the same character, it’s hilarious.
@@MsLoriKessler Especially as Cappie would HATE Nathaniel. He's like Evan on steroids.
Molly Pocrass I know, it’s like “he has become that which he hates”
How long does it take you to edit these videos? I enjoy them so much 😊
depends on the video! short ones like these are pretty easy to whip up - i tend to change the ordering around a lot on longer lists so those take more time. i usually have a few videos going at once for me to switch between, which gives me more time to settle on my choices. i work on them off and on in my spare time so it's hard to give an exact time frame tbh
Maaannn, I wanted to scroll through the comments but I'm too early
I Go To The Zoo is a bop!
But what about the settle for her reprise?
After watching this is realize Rachel looks great in dark green... Oh wait.... This was about Nathaniel?
Team Slytherin.
Can you do a star kid video soon, I love the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend videos but I need me some Lauren Lopez and shiz
Ok? Go search videos about her then? 🙄 your comment is just stupid.
Ash Bubbles Well that was unnecessarily mean.
Ash Bubbles trash
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS I GO TO THE ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The fact that he only has two solos kind of proves to me that the writers never really knew what to do with his characterization.
i really like sports analogies but my language doesnt really have the sports analogy culture so no one i know will understand it
I go to the zoo is my faveee
Unpopular opinion: fit hot guys is so overrated
edit: I like it, but people just highly overrate it
Agree, the joke wears thin quickly.
I respectfull disagree
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I feel like I'm the only CEG fan who isn't super into the "Intercourse" song. (Then again, it's a parody of Thinking Out Loud, and I'm not a big fan of that song. It got overplayed and ruined for me.)
Am I the only person who does not understand everyone's obsession with I go to the zoo? I actually skip it when I rewatch the show 🙈
I love the song but not as much as everyone else, not my fav Nathaniel song
I'm so glad someone thinks the same... At least it's not better than let's have intercourse or nothing is ever anyone's fault (which doesn't get enough of approval here in my opinion). I keep skipping it as well... I know the bad or non-existent rhymes are probably on purpose but it just bothers me :D And for me it's not as relatable as some other songs of Nathaniel.
@@becca6468 Nothing is ever anyone's fault is so underrated!
I didn't care for it at first either. But upon further rewatches, it grows on you
im gonna be honest.... the man isnt as cute as the show made him out to be
Um. No. He's not cute. He's beautiful. That's just obvious.
I just realised how many of his songs I dislike
